HMC606
v02.0109
General Description
Features
Functional Diagram
The HMC606 is a GaAs InGaP HBT MMIC Distributed
Ampli er die which operates between 2 and 18 GHz.
With an input signal of 12 GHz, the ampli er provides
ultra low phase noise performance of -160 dBc/Hz at
10 kHz offset, representing a signi cant improvement
over FET-based distributed ampli ers. The HMC606
provides 14 dB of small signal gain, +27 dBm output
IP3 and +15 dBm of output power at 1 dB gain com-
pression while requiring 64 mA from a +5V supply.
The HMC606 ampli er I/Os are internally matched to
50 Ohms facilitating easy integration into Multi-Chip-
Modules (MCMs). All data is taken with the chip in a 50
Ohm test xture connected via 0.025 mm (1mil) diam-
eter wire bonds of minimal length 0.31 mm (12 mils).
Ultra Low Phase Noise: -160 dBc/Hz @ 10 kHz
P1dB Output Power: +15 dBm
Gain: 14 dB
Output IP3: +27 dBm
Supply Voltage: +5V @ 64 mA
50 Ohm Matched Input/Output
Die Size: 2.80 x 1.73 x 0.1 mm
Typical Applications
The HMC606 is ideal for:
• Radar, EW & ECM
• Microwave Radio
• Test Instrumentation
• Military & Space
• Fiber Optic Systems
